Can anyone explain what the bowden cable aka control pressure cable does?

Also how would a rookie like me adjust it on a 1991 2.6?
Thanks in advance

The cable sycronizes a valves movement in the valve body to the amount of throttle being applied. The point is to delay upshifting for the mechanical advantage that the lower gearing brings.

If you wish later shifts more movement is adjusted. Earlier shifts equal less movement.

how do I adjust it? It seems to hesitate shifting a lot especially when cold and then shifts hard when it finnakky switchs geras. Only seems to effect the car on the first 2 shifts.
Thanks.

Does it shift around 3000 RPM on that first shift? If so, that is NORMAL, intended to speed the warmup of the cat.

I dont know what rpms its at but its hesitates and then boom shifts hard in to gear. Its not only when cold. It does this alsways just much more noticable when cold
